the day and that gave way to lower clouds. you may see a little snowfall. but then the back edge of the snow went through and the skies were starting to clear. we came on a couple minutes before 5:00 and the area was covered with snow on the doppler. it is racing to the east at a good khreubclip. 25 and 19 are the-high -- the high and low. .2 inch at reagan national. teens and low 20's right now and clearing skies temperatures will drop. we will see the current temperature we see the arctic air mass but we were on the southern fringe of that today. it will slowly start to ease back to the northeast and look at temperatures downstream from us. mid 30's on sunday and 40's

monday. but the problem is in transition as the warm air moves in we have one window early monday morning. this is the satellite and radar showing the bigger picture of the clip areaedperclipper. it clears out. mountains get more snow tonight and tomorrow. we will have sunshine tomorrow but we will look to the south and west. by the time we get to sunday night as the leading front of that warm air advances monday we could have sleet or freezing rain and we will pop into warmer temperatures monday afternoon. tomorrow partly cloudy, a little breezy, cold, highs 28 to 32. as we get into sunday looks like we could hit 35. monday a 30% chance right now, keep in touch with the forecast
